MPDP-1
Duty periods during a trip, when such trip contains at least one layover, shall have an MPDP-1 of 3 CH.
MPDP-2
A duty period comprised exclusively of a trip which departs and returns to base in the same duty period shall have an MPDP-2 of 6 CH.


No layover, it looks to me like the trip should pay 6 hours.

Most Test guys are on a pay only status, so they are paid their line guarantee for the month regardless of what the trips pay. If they work more hours than their RLG/BLG then they would get draft for the overage.

In this case it looks like the pairing is being built for scheduling purposes and the pilots who actually fly the trips, if they are real trips, are going to get paid their BLG/RLG regardless. Those pairings, if flown, however, should be worth 6 hours.
